Take a look at the one thing that I have not been able to stop eating this past week, cookies! Not the cheap store bought ones, but the really good Whole Foods ones or the ones that I actually made from scratch because I had a Nestle chocolate chip coupon and Nestle has the best recipe ever! I am saying that to say...something has got to give.

This time of year it is so hard to stay away from the holiday cookies, red velvet cupcakes, sweet potato pies, egg nog, etc. so, I went back to an old college rule that I made for myself: I must do a minimum 30 minutes of activity(cardio) for anything that I eat that is not the healthiest choice. I encourage you to do the same. It's a great way to 1) not deprive yourself of the many treats we usually only indulge in this time of year and 2) not beat yourself up emotionally after you do. :-)
